Kildare Wedding Photographer

Beautiful gay wedding photography in Leixlip Manor House

"It was only a short time after the same sex marriage referendum so it meant so much more to the couple"

When Tim & Mikey got in touch requesting me to be their their gay wedding photographer with ceremony and reception in Leixlip Manor, I couldn't have been happier. I've been a Leixlip Manor wedding photographer for near 10 years and they've all been such a laugh. It's set in over 27 acres with 4 acres of formal garden, the stand out feature being the Victorian walled garden. It's lush no matter what the season and I couldn't wait to go back.

Tim and Mikey's wedding was that little bit different, it was only a short time after the same sex marriage referendum so it meant so much more to the couple and everyone that attended. Not knowing beforehand if their marriage meant being entitled to the same rights as anyone else was a huge relief when the vote came through and trickled down to this magical day in Leixlip Manor.

Mikey and Tim first met via a dating app while Tim was visiting Dublin. A Londoner at the time Tim moved to Dublin a couple of months later. Mikey brought him out for his first pint of Smithwick's and they've been together since. They both wanted a garden ceremony to celebrate their day with family and friends and despite the overcast clouds and the occasional drop of rain they most certainly got their wish.

Tim and Mikey stayed outdoors for most of the day before heading inside for their wedding meal, speeches and the AMAZING rainbow coloured wedding cake. It's the kind of cake where the inside looked just as good as the outside! As you can see from the photos I took maybe one too many :)

Not just an Irish Wedding Photographer

I’m not just a wedding photographer in Ireland. I’m lucky to have many styles that characterise my photo portfolio. I specialise in Weddings, Portraits and Commercial photography. Although based in Kildare I travel nationwide.

If I had to pick a style or label myself then it would be as a documentary wedding photographer in Ireland. Capturing moments. Anticipating emotion. Waiting for quirky fun wedding photographs or more reserved yet sentimental pieces. This aspect certainly keeps me focused. I move quickly from one moment to the next slowing down for the more traditional wedding photographs. It’s an important balance to get right on the day.

Taking creative and stylish portraiture is part and parcel of my diverse editorial work too. Along with beautiful landscapes and lifestyle candid portraits I certainly do enjoy trying to give my couples something a little different on their day. I’m definitely not afraid of trying out new angles, or odd reflections to get the spirit of the wedding. An alternative wedding photographer twist so to speak. If this isn’t for you though then I’m more than willing to listen to your preferential style.

As mentioned I’m also a portrait photographer in Ireland too. Again, I like to alternate my work with traditional portraits and informal lifestyle portrait shoots. Why limit ourselves with one particular lighting source on the day? Lets’ mix it up with studio and natural lighting. Switch from background lit portraits to environmental candids.

It doesn’t always have to be studio based on the day.

Lastly, I enjoy the various work that comes with commercial photography. I particularly enjoy food photography. These stylised and intense projects are another outlet to be creative. Every brief will be covered as proposed by any client in a professional and friendly manner.

No job is too big or too small for Give us a goo photography and everyday brings a new creative way to shoot a project. One day I could be engaged in product photography such as photographing LED lightbulbs and the next photographing individual members of a business with headshot photography or take part in a charitable cause with event photography. That’s the beauty of variety that comes with this job of which I’ll always be grateful. For more information please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
